September 2013 babies!!

[Wanting-a-girl]

Great pics southern! I hate my pic taken lol

Salsa hope all is well... Please update soon!

DLTG... That is crazy when do you get seen again?

I finally get to see my OB/GYN on the 13th! Been seeing a stupid GP and she's ridiculously stupid... I had to show her how to use a fetal Doppler!

Heart burn is my worst enemy at the moment it seems to get worse every baby! Thank god for whoever created Zantac! I feel like time is going sooooo fast! I can't believe our babies will be here soon! I feel so mentally unprepared... I actually had a breakdown yesterday when I was playing with my ds3 cause we have the best strongest bond that I've ever had with any one and I don't want to lose an ounce of it and I'm so worried that he's going to be sooo sad I know he will adjust but it just really gets to me

Salsa, that is scary!!! I fall down all the time because of my hip, but yours sounded like quite the ordeal! I hope all is well.

Southern, I love your pics! You look amazing, I look like a fat blob, I don't dare get in front of a camera lol

WAG I know exactly how you feel. My bond was like that with DS1 and I sobbed before DS2 was born because I couldn't imagine how a new baby could possibly fit in to the scenario because of our bond. Turns out, everyone always has their place in the family, and I haven't felt like my bond with any of my boys has taken away from the bond with their brothers. I totally get being scared about it though.

I have my scan tomorrow! Here is to hoping she is still a she because if my placenta is on the rise, then this will most likely be my final scan!! Once again I am a little nervous I'll see a penis, but not nearly as scared about it as I was with my last one, last time, I was convinced the penis was just hiding. LOL
I am getting huge, all I want to eat is chocolate and ice cream!!! I've already gained 15 lbs and im only almost 23 weeks.

Thank you ladies, you all are too kind as I honestly feel like a beached whale!

WAG- You asked about breech babies, I wouldn't worry too much as it is still early and he has plenty of time to find the "exit" lol. This one has been head down for a while and I can feel the pressure of him pushing on my cervix, not comfortable!

Thorz- Good luck at your scan, I know she will still have all her lady parts and nothng extra!

Is anyone else simply not sleeping??? I've certainly had restless nights during all of my pregnancies but not this bad. I toss and turn until 3 or 4 am before finally going to sleep. It's not only physical discomfort but mentally I just can't sleep! I sure hope this ends soon because I'm miserable.

All is fine thanks everyone. Doc said there is a lot of cushioning that I supply for the baby! Not sure if I should be happy or offended with this comment!! Haha ultrasound showed all is good! My whole body is so sore though from bracing myself and for my son!
I have a toddler too who is constantly on my hip! It's just making everything I do so asymmetrical that by the end of the day my hips and back have had it!! All 3 of mine are in carseats still so getting them all in and out of cars really hurts my back too ! Still 3 more months!! Lol

[Wanting-a-girl]

I have caught up on so much sleep that I can't sleep past 6-7 am lol I think maybe cause ds3 only started to consistently sleep all night for the past few months now... I do toss and turn and this baby seems to react and wake up every time I move at night lol... He's gonna be a bad baby I think lol....

Thanks southern... I know it's early just something for me to worry about I guess lol...

Who here would try to vaginally deliver a breech baby just out of curiosity? Cause I was thinking if he ended up being foot down I would possibly want to try that instead of a section

Great to hear everything is fine salsa

[Mum to three girls]

Breech babies make me nervous so I wouldn't but my opinion is biased as DH and I both have medical backgrounds. I've been to quite a few breech deliveries and while most of them have been controlled and planned and the outcome fine as a whole the babies have been born a bit more "stunned" than vaginal babies. Certainly nothing that a bit of stimulation/resus hasn't sorted out quickly but personally it would make me nervous.

Having said that I think someone's personal definition of "risk" is very dependent on their own experiences which make mine pretty skewed.

I'm due near the end of the school holidays here and while I'm hoping for a VBAC (first two normal, last a section) I was just thinking the other day that if he is breech and I do have an elective section it would make it much easier to work out what to do with the girls!

I'm only 22 weeks but have just realised I'll need to get DD3 off the breast! There's no milk but she still has a 5 min comfort suck at the end of the day. It's such a busy time in general that I have kept it going but I have no desire to tandem feed (nothing against it, but it's not for me).

Ive also attended breech births I have a bit of medical background... Breech births make me very nervous too... And watching a breech birth really freaks me out in general... It looks like the head is going to get stuck.... I just don't want a section but I would never do anything to risk his life so I imagine I would do the section as it lowers his risk of complications than to have a breech birth.... I will be doing everythi to get him to turn if he hasn't down so by 30 weeks ... I hate chiros and swore I would never use one but I would def try whatever they do to help baby turn and I would also let my dr try to flip him... I would stand on my head for a month lol... I read that washing floors on hands and knees can influence them to turn so I will be having very clean floors lol

I see my midwife again next week, not that theres ever much point but i love listening to babys heartbeat.

DS1 was breech but he turned at about 35 weeks and was born at 38. I was really hoping not to have a section, i'm just very glad he did turn in the end.

Salsa glad everything is ok

I'm not sleeping great either, i cant seem to get to sleep for a few hours after going to bed and then i'm waking up early and i really have no idea why, i've been such a grumpy mummy because of it too.

[Wanting-a-girl]

Omg! I go on kijiji its an online selling site... I usually look at the baby stuff people are selling... Well last night someone was selling a book called "orgasmic birth" the title made me cringe... Don't get me wrong I love orgasms lol but I then googled it and it's quite disturbing to me... I don't think childbirth is the time to get off... I know we don't want a painful birth but I sure as hell don't want to be having orgasms...

[Salsa]

Wag- lol gross!!! I'm with you on that one! I'll leave those to my time with just my husband around thank you very much! I don't think the 2 should be associated! How disturbing!
